Additional Information

Fresh gingerroot resembles a gnarled tan-colored root. It adds a distinctive pungency and aroma to foods and is
used extensively in dishes of the Far East. To prepare, use a small sharp knife to peel the tough skin and then finely chop the
gingerroot into pieces.

Cooking the beans in boiling water and then rinsing them in cold water will bring out their bright color.
